SCALE Expo 2025

CTL@50 Presents: 15th Annual MIT Global Supply Chain Excellence Network Student Expo

Our annual SCALE student Expo previews nearly 100 industry-sponsored research projects conducted by supply chain students at MIT CTL and the international centers in the global Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence (SCALE) network. The Expo showcases this research-in-progress on a broad range of future-forward topics and provides an exclusive glimpse at what the final findings will reveal in May.

Students Pitch Business Ideas to "Sharks" in Entrepreneurship Challenge

The 2022 SCALE Connect conference ended in a whirlwind of group project presentations and awards ceremonies. One of the team-based challenges of the conference is the annual entrepreneurial challenge competition: a product development and pitch challenge sponsored by the ASCM Massachusetts Minuteman chapter, in the style of the hit TV show "Shark Tank". Randomly assigned student teams propose and pitch solutions to problems on the UN Global Issues List.

Students Compete and Deliver Solutions to Companies in Supply Chain Challenge

Graduate supply chain management students from the MIT Global Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence (SCALE) Network put their heads together last month to find solutions to real-world supply chain problems in the second annual MIT Supply Chain Challenge.

Each team had 14 days from receiving its data set to come up with an innovative, feasible, and effective solution to present to the sponsor company.
